    I didn't see it but remember either you or Brian telling me about it. I think it was you. That was a long time ago!

    Im going to bring this thread back from the dead. My stove has finally arrived. It took much longer than typical to be delivered because someone neglected to approve the order sheet in a timely fashion…:emb::whistle:

    so without further ado here’s some pics.

    I opted to pick the stove up from the freight terminal because it was the cheapest and I’m stingy. 634ED826-B502-48A8-89AA-02A322173DEA.jpeg

    would have almost been worth the lift gate/residential delivery charge to not worry about that expensive stove perched on the back of the trailer for the 10 mile trip home. The worry was unfounded as the stove made the trip without any harm even on our terrible Michigan roads.

    The next hurtle was finding out whether my little Dingo would lift the stove off the trailer. Really a moment of truth as the installation operation would be made exponentially harder if it couldn’t.

    turns out it was no big worry. Although I could not step off the machine without the load tipping it so sorry no pic of stove lifted in the air…

    These last three pics highlight the custom details we decided on. Man it’s going to be tough waiting until stove moving day next Sunday!

    Congratulations on this brother. I knew it would get to you but along with you I sweated a bit. When I was at the factory recently I was actually hoping I could have had a hand in building it but struck out. They did keep me busy though. Looking forward to helping get that in where it belongs.

    Dennis that would have been pretty cool! It’s special enough knowing that it was built here in the USA by your good friend Tom.
